Topic: Archimede Seguso? Duck (Read 4650 times)

I ran across this signed duck on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310341599724#ht_3318wt_1048. The duck and signature do not look right to me. I've never seen an A. Seguso duck with the legs stuck on like this. The style of the signature is 1970-80s, but A. Seguso didn't make this type glass then. Looking closely, the shape of the letters do not look right for his company, especially that curvy, plump S in Seguso. Thought I would get other people's opinion of this little duck.

Your ram is great, Martin. It's a 70-80s piece, so the signature is right at home for the date. I don't remember seeing any A. Seguso sommerso animals from this time. Mainly just massello and remakes of his earlier transparent, bianco nero, and alabastro animals. I'm glad that you don't like it, either. With the feet on the side like that, one little nudge and the duck would topple over.
